According to a Bloomberg Report Apple is planning to release a bevy of new products including three new iPhone models in September. Apple Inc. plans to unveil three new iPhones next month, including two new “Pro” models and a successor to the iPhone XR, The “Pro” models are meant to replace the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max.
Over the last few months rumors and concept renders of the upcoming iPhone 11 have floated the internet with no real confirmation from Apple, however according to new reports here’s some details on what to expect in the the so-called iPhone Pro.
The first thing that will stand out on the new Pro iPhones will be a new camera system on the back with a third sensor for capturing ultra-wide-angle photos and videos which is a first for Apple. The new triple-lens sensors will reportedly capture three images simultaneously and use new artificial intelligence software to automatically correct the combined photo.

iPhones are widely known for their dependable cameras with most digital creators making short skits using the phones camera from vine days. well, the new Pro will have significantly upgraded video recording capabilities, getting them closer to professional video cameras. Apple has developed a feature that allow users to retouch, apply effects, alter colors, re-frame and crop video as it is being recorded live on the device.
Earlier this year Samsung Electronics Co. rolled out Wireless PowerShare for its Galaxy handsets. Basically, this means the newest galaxy handsets can charge up almost any other smartphone or other devices that support the Qi wireless charging standard. Apple seem to have jumped on the bandwagon and according to the report a reverse wireless charging system that users can power-up their latest AirPods in the optional wireless-charging case by leaving it on the back of the new Pro phones is in the works.
All the new models are expected to include a new multi-angle Face ID sensor, enabling users to unlock their device even if it’s laying flat on a table.Apple is said to be bringing faster A13 processors to each of the three iPhones, which is likely to power improved computer vision and augmented reality capabilities.
Apple has dramatically enhanced water resistance for the new models, which could allow them to be submerged under water far longer than the current iPhones.
The new models will also have new OLED displays that lack the pressure-sensitive 3D Touch technology. Apple is replacing this with Haptic Touch, which essentially mirrors 3D Touch’s functionality with a long press, as it did with the iPhone XR last year.
Unfortunately the new Pro iPhones will still not be able to support the fifth generation cellular network technology 5G. Outside of a new matte-colored finish, the Pro phones will also look broadly similar to last year’s models.
Aside from iPhones, the company is also likely to release refreshed iPads and MacBook Pros in the fall. It’s also working on updated versions of AirPods and the HomePod smart speaker.
We still don’t know when Apple will officially announce its new iPhones, but a detail-laden report like this is a good sign that won’t be too far off.
